One of the top tourist draws to Fiji is the Navala Village on the Nausori Highlands in Nadi on the island of Viti Levu. It is an authentic traditional village, untouched by any modern development. Think about the comforts in your own home – TV, A/C, a home entertainment system, the family car – they’re not here. It is a completely different world and the villagers are not putting on a show. This is their way of life. In fact, in the 19050s, the Fijian government offered to this village the construction of modern homes. The people refused, and today, we know that they chose wisely. The elderly villagers taught their children how to build a “bure” home, and so the tradition has been kept alive through the years. To see this highland village is truly a rare experience.

Approaching the village, you will be greeted by the very friendly locals and be invited inside their homes. There are more than 200 …

Fiji often gets confused with Mount Fuji in Japan. They sound the same and both are world renowned must-see destinations. However, Mount Fuji is just one picturesque mountain, while Fiji is home to more than 300 islands with lovely beaches and lush mountains. The tallest mountain and the highest peak in all of Fiji is the Tomanivi Mountain located on the main and largest island of Viti Levu.

Mt. Tomanivi also known as Mt. Victoria

Also known as Mount Victoria in the past (when the British were still in control), Mount Tomanivi is actually an extinct volcano situated in the northern part of the island. It is within a mountain range that divides the island of Viti Levu and passed through by four …

Lau Islands in eastern Fiji is a group of 60 tiny islands. Looking at the map, they look like spattered green paint on the Pacific Ocean’s blue stretch. Only about 30 islands are inhabited by friendly Fijian locals who make their living from the reefs. They get their basic living supplies from cargo boats coming from the capital city of Suva. Fiji’s other islands are much nearer the capital city and international airport and with luxury resorts to boast. The following, however, are reasons why Lau Islands should also be placed on everyone’s tourism map.

Lau Islands in Fiji

The first reason is clearly Vanau Balavu. Located north of Lau, the island of Vanau Balavu is very scenic and inviting. It has the only official accommodation in all the Lau Islands, the Moana’s Guesthouse. Situated near the traditional village of Lomaloma, the …

While Fiji is a popular country (although some mistake it as a place in Japan), not many of its 322 islands are known by people around the world. They are difficult to pronounce and spell out, but they offer the best beaches and vacation spots that could not be found elsewhere in the world. Among Fiji’s many regions or groups of islands, one of the often visited is the Kadavu Islands.

Beautiful Kadavu Islands
